What we do

Newcastle Cross Country is a running club for members of all ages 6 years and older who enjoy the sport of cross country running. Our season commences in April and concludes in August. Events are held at different venues around the Hunter Region each Saturday afternoon. Running on different surfaces from hard road base to sand, and in different settings from suburban to bush, in all kinds of weather. Runners compete at their own pace to achieve their personal best in varying distances.

The committee is made up of volunteers from like minded groups and they endeavour to produce a program of events which has something for everyone, from individual runners to families and also includes a group of walkers who are not up to the challenge of a run.

Volunteers are the backbone of our organisation, and as such the club expects that each registered Adult or Adult caregiver would volunteer at least once during the season. If Adult competitors or Adult caregivers have not met the volunteer requirements no awards will be granted.If every registered Adult volunteered once, the organisers would also be able to have a run.
